Jynx- that dog has more pictures provided in the photography section. That picture is when he was from 18 months old and still maturing. On top of maturing he is a hard keeper. So I feed him more, but when he would hit a growth spurt he would get a little too thin.

I was commenting on the pic shown, thanks for explaining, tho there was no need to.

JessLough, while I agree many can say "have had dogs xxx years", which doesn't necessarily equate to knowledge, suffice it to say, I just don't feel the need to justify or print out my credentials/accomplishments when it comes to gsd's..(and honestly I am not saying this to sound snotty/stuck up/know it all just explaining a little

I think the main thing people want to point out is that even though her 'supporters' claim there is no evidence and it was based off of one pic there were a few (post #75 to see them), also there was vet records posted and a trusted member spoke with the breeder and other members know her.

Teal came on here and lied repeatedly, avoided questions as to what happened, and is looking for a new dog already.

The difference here is RC has come on here and stated the dog was ribby and about working to fix that. Teal set up a thread to give an excuse when another dog went missing to hide that she ditched another animal and this one had been starved to dangerous levels.

They are not the same thing.

That GSD is lean, but there's a huge difference between that and the Fila puppy. There is NO comparison. That Fila was neglected until it was emaciated and almost starved to death. Can you not see the difference in their condition? Teal denied it and did nothing to fix him up. He could have died! This GSD in the picture is a long way from dying of starvation. RC acknowledged that her GSD was too light and was working on trying to beef him up. How can you not see the difference?

And as it was said, how does going around finding pictures of other forum members' dogs, scrutinizing them and then posting the leaner ones on this thread relate to the thread topic? This is about neglect and abuse, complete lack of caring. The feeding and attention was withdrawn from this puppy because of the sickest reason....she didn't like his personality and he wasn't going to fit into her life style. WFT? If you can't see the difference here, well.....there's something wrong.

thank you yoko for clarifying, sounds like this teal person has not changed, unfortunately people like this can ALWAYS find a dog/puppy if they are persistent enough

Just to clarify my intent was not to compare RC with Teal at all, two totally different topics I was commenting on And I don't read every thread on this forum to know that RC's dog was 18 months old in that picture, she explained it and thats that? sheesh, get over it, I have

Posting the gsd to try and mitigate the fila is silliness. First of all, like Linds said, even if RC is a baby boiling dog starver that does not change anything about the fila. Secondly, even if that pic could potentially could change anything about the fila, it doesn't, because the GSD is underweight, the fila is skin and bones, it is the thestral of puppies.

The GSD has enough muscle on him that you could have rack of GSD if you liked. The muscle along the filas spine is totally atrophied. You can see where the ribs join the vertebral column. There is hardly anything left. The two dogs' body conditions are not equivalent.
